Replacement internal connector new Rapid-i.
« on: Tue, 18 July 2017, 07:10:27 »
Hello, I've been searching on a few sites but I'm having no luck so far, though I wonder if this might be a thing seeing as USB Mini-B, from what I understand is more popular than Micro-B among mechies. My Rapid-i comes with a Micro-B connector, little while ago a friend gifted me a cable to match with my caps but it was sadly not available with a Micro-B option. So, I found out that the connector inside the Rapid-i is actually very easy to remove, but I wonder if there is a replacement for it.


"Darn..."

Anyone know a way to solve this? And no, just an adaptor is not a solution, I want it to look neat and tidy.

I asked Cooler Master a while ago and they don't do mini, only micro.  You could get a replacement micro one from them and modify that, or you could try and make a short JST to miniUSB connector from scratch.
